International Finance BIFin

Level 1 - During the first year of both these courses, you’ll be undertaking a range of modules from Accounting and Finance together with the Economic Studies disciplines.

Level 2 - The previous year elements are further developed at this stage. Modules are designed to help you understand the role of finance in the business world and develop the techniques and skills required in making good financial decisions.

Level 3 - By this stage you’ll have the analytical skills to allow you to critically assess financial conditions and recognise potential problems. Demonstrating these abilities well in this junior Honours year will put you on a strong platform towards a good Honours classification. At this stage the syllabus begins to specialize between the two degree paths.

Level 4 – Now you have an element of choice in the modules you want to take, although one compulsory module remains from each discipline. At this stage learning becomes more specialized. You’ll be better able to identify your strengths and select the study areas that are going to best support your career ambitions.
